7.7 Supplier relations<br />

<strong>Capgemini</strong>’s business of providing intellectual services means that<br />

personnel costs account for almost two thirds of its expenses,<br />

while external purchases mainly comprise rent, IT and telecommunications<br />

costs as well as outside services (training, legal and<br />

auditing fees, recruitment or IT).<br />

Our commitment to ethical supplier relations is reflected in our<br />

comprehensive set of guidelines on the ethics of purchasing and<br />

the selection of suppliers.<br />

In addition, we apply the principles of the Chartered Institute for<br />

Purchasing & Supply (CIPS), or an equivalent body in other countries,<br />

and monitor our suppliers to ensure that they do likewise.<br />

In its purchasing activities, the Group pays attention to:<br />

Social impacts and human rights,<br />

Environmental impacts,<br />

Anti-bribery and corruption.<br />

The 10 key principles of the United Nations Global Compact<br />

guide our activities throughout our business. This means that we<br />

are committed to ensuring that we work only with suppliers who<br />

respect appropriate ethical policies and human rights.<br />

7.7.2 Principles of ethical purchasing<br />

Group suppliers must comply, at least, with the following principles:<br />

No use of forced labor or child labor,<br />

No discriminatory practices,<br />

Freedom of association,<br />

Compliance with local laws in force, particularly relating to<br />

working conditions, health and safety.<br />
